Sick and Not Thinking About Food

Writing by Deb, Diet, Weight Loss and Fat Fighting Blogger! on Saturday, 21 of June , 2008 at 2:31 pm

I’m not eating clean this week. In fact, I’m barely eating at all. I’m eating, just not like usual. I woke up Thursday with a sinus infection, along with laryngitis. I felt like crap, and quite honestly, the thing that’s keeping me going more than anything is a large cup of diluted juice.

Yesterday I had some egg whites, and picked at a little bit of chicken my husband cooked up. I also had a bowl of fat free, no sugar added ice cream. The cold felt good on my throat. I tried my smoothie this morning, but things taste funny right now. We cut up some cantaloupe (my favorite), but it tastes weird thanks to my cold. :\ Everytime I eat, I end up coughing anyway, so I’d rather just drink my juice.

Of course, I’m one of those people who has to watch my sugars. I’m taking medication, and what’s interesting is how much of it has sugar in it. There’s a diabetic aisle in some stores now which have sugar free medicine. I haven’t visited it yet. I want my damn Nyquil, ya know? (and Dayquil for that matter)

I’m hoping I only have 2 more days of this yuck until I’m back to normal. Blah…

My trainer is on vaca this week, and I told her I’d sweat 2x while she was gone. Do hot flashes count? I was hot flashing like crazy last night? You’d have sworn it was a fever the way I was sweating, but alas, I knew the difference, it was a hot flash.

I need this to hurry and go away, so I can hit my treadmill or cut the grass or do something before she comes back. I can’t do it sick, but as soon as I’m feeling like myself, I’m going to get moving. The problem is I moved TOO much yesterday, and my husband scolded me, and told me to sit still or go lie down. I wasn’t doing either of us any favors.

I noticed you were considering Anthony Colpos plan back in November & then didnt keep with it.
I assume your young trainer (non insulin resistant too) recommended more carbs.

You will lose alot faster if you switch to a diet 60% - 70% fats, green non starchy vegetables like spinach & 30-40g per day of protein & just drink water. Diet Coke will only make you have an appetite for carbs. I am 41 could not figure out why I couldnt lose weight like I used to in my 20’s & 30’s.

I switched to low carb (50g or less per day) | high fat while still watching calories & the pounds tumble off if you also dump aspartame| splenda drinks.

You might like your trainer, but just lie to her about what you are eating & ignore her advice.

She means well I am sure, but she is clueless because she has never gone through it (metabolic syndrome at that age + she is training).

Once you have lost most of the weight you can start to eat a bit more starchy vegetables & fruits, but not until then ( & then try to eat them just before or after your workout.)
